Help! Cramping... *UPDATES*

(I'm 30 weeks 5 days) I've been getting these period like cramps for a couple days. Today(all day) they have been worse and very uncomfortable and slightly painful. They don't come and go but are constant. Has anyone been feeling this way? Anyone know what it could be? I also have been having a hard time breathing. Feels like someone is sitting on my chest. Could the baby just be too big?

*UPDATE*
Cramping turned into pain that went towards my left back/hip area. Threw up from the pain which ended up with me spending the night at the hospital. Turns out its my kidney. I have a possible kidney infection or kidney stone(s). Was also very dehydrated. Currently waiting for results from the ultrasound they took of my kidneys. Baby is doing really good with a strong heart heat and is very active. 😊

*UPDATE#2*I had blockage in my kidney which was what was causing the pain. But they ended up to findng a cyst which i need to speak with my primary care doc about. Hoping its nothing serious.

I would suggest you call your ob. Consistent cramping could be early labor. Are you having any other symptoms? Back ache, discharge? Better to be on the safe side. Go with your gut. I hope everything is ok.

The cramping ended up going to my left back/hip, which was so painful I threw up. Went to the hospital and found out its my kidney. I have a possible kidney infection or kidney stones. Currently waiting for results.
